We’ve just released an auto update for WebSpy Vantage (Premium, Giga and Ultimate) as well as the Web Module.
This is a great update for Vantage Ultimate users as we’ve introduced a new feature/tab into the Web Module called ‘Dynamic Reports’.
If you’re publishing the same report to the Web Module each day, you can use the Dynamic Reports tab to select a date range and a department (or whatever organizational groups you have defined) and the Web Module will collate all the daily reports that match that filter into one report. This allows you to report on entire week, month or year by simply ‘reporting on reports’, rather than reporting months of raw storage data.
Here’s the full list of changes since the last auto update (2.2.0.32 on the 14th April 2010).
Application Changes
- Added Dynamic Reports feature to the Web Module.
- Rewrote the Web Module transfer protocol. New protocol adds version checking, connection checking, and integrity checking for high latency environments.
- Purge data from storage task no longer prevents importing new hits when all data is removed from an input within a storage.
- IPv6 addresses now show IPv4-mapped addresses as plain IPv4 addresses in summaries.
- IPv6 and IPv4 addresses are now freely interchangable in filter expressions.
- Fixed IPv6 drilldowns on the Summaries screen
- SQL inputs can now be resumed from the previous position. Previously any input that was partially imported would be skipped when importing new hits.
- Template-based analysis has been fixed, no longer results in blank/non-existent analysis.
- Added new string manipulation functions to expression language; Contains, StartsWith, EndsWith, IndexOf.
